Diplo and his peeps over at Mad Decent are remixing Gucci’s Cold War mixtapes, the first track leaked is "Dangers Not A Stranger". Yeah, it's pretty awesome, love the classic early 90s Mariah "Can't Let Go" sample.

Cudder...the king of indie samples

If he is not collaborating with them he is sampling them....LCD Soundsystem, Band of Horses, Ratatat, MGMT, and Little Boots, just to name a few. In this latest track floating around, "Cudderisback", dat kid named Cudi samples Vampire Weekend's song "Ottoman". Keep doing what you do Cudi cause I am a sucker for indie samples.

Hip Hop/Rap Covers For Ya Mutha

Hip Hop/Rap covers by indie artist are far from new and I am pretty certain Ben Folds started the tradition with his cover of Dr. Dre's song "Bitches Ain't Shit". And since then every year or so someone does one that catches, this time it is Anya Marina's cover of T.I.'s song "Whatever You Like". It is what it is so I doubt I will listen to it more than twice but enjoy. Also included are a couple of other popular covers.

*Mp3: Anya Marina - Whatever You Like (T.I. Cover)
*Mp3: Ben Folds - Bitches Ain't Shit (Dr. Dre Cover)

Chiddy Bang "The Swelly Express"

Chiddy Bang's new mixtape "The Swelly Express" is fire. I had honestly never heard of them but the name of one of the songs caught my eye "All Things Go", I recognized the line from the Sufjan Stevens song "Chicago" and thought it might be a cover. Without going into too much more detail I highly suggest you download the mixtape its free at Chiddy Bang's myspace or I provided the link below.

Sharam Ft Kid Cudi - "She Came Along" Video

Who knew you could sample old country music like Patsy Cline's song "Strange" and make it sound relevant. She passed away over 45 years ago and Sharam and Cudi resurrect her from the dead. I have been listening to this song for a couple months and it definitely grows on you.

Don't mind him he's just drunk...Kanye's Apology

Kanye attempts to apoligize for his actions, at the VMAs, on his blog. It's in all caps so he must really mean it.

"I’M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD’VE SAID. SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE’S IN THE BLEACHERS! …………………… I’M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT!…………….. BEYONCE’S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I’M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I’M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN’ THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE … WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I’M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!!

I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I’M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!!!"

Just checked Kanye's blog and his apology is no longer there. He must be doing a rewrite. In the meantime listen to LMFAOs remix of Paranoid.

*Mp3: Kanye West - Paranoid (LMFAO Remix)

****Kanye "Gaylord Focker" West did rewrite his apology and it's a bit shorter and not in all caps this time. Added to post at 5:45pm. ****

"I feel like Ben Stiller in "Meet the Parents" when he messed up everything and Robert De Niro asked him to leave... That was Taylor's moment and I had no right in anyway to take it from her. I am truly sorry."

People tell me to slow my roll...I'm screaming out ((FUCK THAT))

Kid Cudi's new album "Man on the Moon" doesn't officially drop til the 15th but was leaked yesterday. Haven't listened to the whole thing but Pursuit of Happiness with MGMT and Ratatat is pretty dope.
